GitHub Adds Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s Codex as Built-In AI Coding Agents
GitHub has expanded its AI assistant offering by integrating Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s Codex into the platform for Pro+ and Enterprise subscribers. The new agents can be invoked directly from issues, pull requests, the Agents tab, or the VS Code extension, and developers can address them with @claude, @codex or @copilot comments. Each session counts as a premium request during the public preview, and GitHub says additional agents from Google, Cognition and xAI are slated to join the lineup.
